i hate to say it - I agree with Vance. Out tinpot wannabe authoritarian dictator is throwing a tantrum and sending the US and the world into chaos. But it is ending - ask Orbsn and Vucic and Bolsanaro. And hopefully Netanyahu? 🙏🤞

Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Monday that high gas prices have left some voters undecided ahead of the midterm election, but argued that price spikes happen “every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum.”

This disgraceful era of oligarchy is ending. They will all fall - Trump and MAGA too. Use this last week of Election Season. Vote!

In 2024, President Trump unveiled his signature “no tax on tips" proposal at this Las Vegas restaurant. Two years later, its owner tells CNN’s Kyung Lah he is dipping into his savings to stay afloat, and his workers are struggling to pay their bills.

Don’t take a beat. Make a plan!!! 7 more days - the last week - of Election Season. Make it count. There’s still time to vote early in person and avoid the election day goon squads Trump is planning.

"The United States may be within a week of momentous political change in midterm elections that could destroy the Republican Party's monopoly on Washington and hand Democrats power to check President Donald Trump," writes Stephen Collinson. "But take a beat." | Analysis https://cnn.it/4zgXZE4

#ThoughtForTheDay Only 9 days to Election Day. Election Season is almost over. 150+M voted in 2024. ~30M have voted so far. That’s almost 20%! You still have 9 days to vote early - in person if you can. Bank your vote on your schedule. Be sure your voice is heard!

Thought on the Alaska Election. By going to the courts so early, before there’s even any indication of what margin any candidate may take or whether there’s any reason to think Dan J has any impact, Trump is just broadcasting that his intent is simply interference. Period.

StarLink/Shield definitely needs to be nationalized. No one person should be allowed to run such critical global platforms on a whim.

Attn: The Trump administration is attempting to violate a judge’s order again. A judge blocked the reorganization of the Forest Service. Now Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the Trump administration is “full-bore ahead” with its sweeping Forest Service reorganization.

Agreed. No more “sternly worded letters”. Real consequences for real crimes, and no more of these political sham legal farces.

Trump is unleashing the real Stanford Prison Experiment on the US. We all see it every day since he began giving permission to extreme racism, misogyny and white nationalism.

CNN@cnn.com

The Stanford Prison Experiment lasted less than a week in 1971, but its claims about human nature endured for decades. Now, a new Netflix series is bringing one of psychology’s most controversial studies, and some of the biggest concerns surrounding it, back into the spotlight https://cnn.it/4zL7smP

US-Israeli and Iranian strikes have hit oil facilities, igniting fires that covered Tehran in thick black smoke. And these strikes are also affecting the Persian Gulf. Attacks on ships and oil infrastructure in the waterway have produced oil spills visible from space. https://cnn.it/3WK4twE

📣 📣. 📣 Hey, guys, stop the bs No one changed BALLOTS. It’s not a thing Russia changed voters - disinfo, misinfo & culture war propaganda changed VOTERS. Not ballots. Our elections are free, fair & secure - from physical manipulation. But psychological manipulation is & will remain a real issue
